UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

GIACOMO BREDEE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BIRD-CAGE.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,841, dated September 22, 1885.

Application filed April 16, 1885.

1 jects, such as flower-pots.

Figure 1 is an elevation, part in section, of my improved bird-cage. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same in the plane a :0, Fig.1. Fig. 3is a vertical section through the drawer.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the top portion of the cage, which may be made of any shape or material, and B is the bottom,

which, in the example shown in the drawings, I

is permanently secured to the top portion of the cage; but, it esired, it may be made de tachable. I

O is the drawer. which is slid in the bottom of the cage, a suitable aperture, (1, being left in one of the sides of the bottom for that purpose, and in this drawer are secured, either permanently or detachably, to one ofits sides, the feedcups.

In order that the cage may be placed on a table or the like, instead of being hung up, I provide the same with legs E, extending outwardly from the base of the cage, and each of which is provided with a hollow portion or socket, 1), adapted to receive a flower-pot,

(No model.)

Fig. 1, or the like, whereby the artistic effect of the cage is heightened. The legs may be riveted to the bottom or brazed to the same in any manner familiar to those skilled in the art.

It will appear evident that if the cross-sec tion of the cage is made circular the aperture to must extend nearly half-way around the girth of the bottom, in order that the drawer B can be slid in and out.

In practice the drawer is made to extend almost completely across the bottom in both directions, in order that all seed, water, or dirt may accumulate thereon and not fall on the bottom of the cage.

The objectof my invention is to provide for a cage which can be easily kept clean, and can be cleaned without disturbing the bird, while at the same time the feeding of the bird is facilitated by having the feed cups in the tray.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A bird cage having supportinglegs projecting outwardly from its base and provided in their outer ends with sockets b, for receiving flower-pots, substantially as described.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a birdcage having a sliding drawer, feed cups secured in said drawer, and legs provided with sockets to receive flower-pots, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
